| We drink tea every day. But more than
three hundred years ago, most of the people in Europe did not know {{U}}(41)
{{/U}} about tea, because it was {{U}}(42) {{/U}} in Asia. There is
a {{U}}(43) {{/U}} about an English sailor. {{U}}(44) {{/U}} he
went to India and China. When he came home, he brought some {{U}}(45)
{{/U}}as a present to his mother. She told her friends about the present and
{{U}}(46) {{/U}} them to a tea party. When her friends came to the tea
party, the old woman brought some tea {{U}}(47) {{/U}} and asked them to
eat. Of course, nobody liked the tea leaves. Just {{U}}(48) {{/U}} the sailor came in. He looked at the tea leaves on the table and asked his mother, "What have you done{{U}} (49) {{/U}} the tea?" "I boiled it as you said." "And what did you do with the water?" the sailor asked. "I {{U}}(50) {{/U}} it away, of course," answered the woman. "Now you may throw away the leaves, too." said her son. |
